BBC NEWS Gord has taken time out from the rigours of politics to “meet” the Kilimanjaro celebs, Mr Brown told them they were "inspiring a generation of kids who would never have thought about these things" and added that they were "nine heroes".
He also announced the government would give £2m towards fighting malaria.
Ahead of the visit, speculation had mounted as to how the prime minister might mark the occasion after his spokesman was asked if he would wear a red nose.
He replied: "Wait and see." But, in the end, Mr Brown did not wear one.
Instead, a large red nose was placed on the door of Number 10.
Very apt.
At the last Comic Relief event in 2007, Mr Brown's predecessor Tony Blair performed a comedy sketch opposite impersonator Catherine Tate.
In it, he used the catchphrase employed by one of her best-known characters, petulant schoolgirl Lauren, repeatedly asking: "Am I bovvered?"
It is not thought Mr Brown is planning to do anything similar for this year's Comic Relief show on BBC One on Friday
I must admit that I enjoyed Tony’s skit last time but can you see Gord doing anything “human”?
“Humour is a spontaneous, wonderful bit of an outburst that just comes. It's unbridled, it’s unplanned, it's full of surprises.” Erma Bombeck
